☀️ Sun Stars!

Sun Star flowers are cherished for their vibrant colors and association with joy and happiness. The vivid appearance of the petals are reminiscent of the sun itself, evoking feelings of warmth and positivity -- and in some traditions, Sun Stars are viewed as a talisman for good luck and positive energy.

It'll be hard to miss these vibrant friends on your next stroll around the courtyard. 🌟

Spring is bursting into bloom and many tiny birds are making their first entrance this season! If you’re staying with us this spring, you might be lucky enough to spot a few hummingbird nests tucked among the courtyard branches. 🪺

🐞 Employee of the Month: The Tiny Alligator
Spotted: One of our hardest-working team members taking a well-deserved "sunbathe break" before getting back to the grind. ☀️
While it looks like a miniature dragon, this is actually a ladybug larva! These little guys are the unsung heroes of the Marina Motel gardens, keeping our spring blooms happy and aphid-free.
Think of them as our tiny, spiky security guards. If you see one while you’re strolling the grounds, give them a nod of thanks—they’ve got a lot of eating to do!

Small treasures can be found all around. ✨

Beauty and creativity is plentiful around our courtyard — and even in between our guest garages!

You may find yourself appreciating more than just the flowers. 🐝🎨
